Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) phototherapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, allowing it to penetrate different layers of the skin. This versatility makes IPL an effective solution for improving the skin’s overall tone and texture.

  • IPL works by delivering bursts of light energy to the skin. The light is absorbed by specific pigments, such as melanin (responsible for pigmentation) and hemoglobin (found in blood vessels). This absorption generates heat, which helps to:

    • Break down dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

    • Minimize redness and vascular lesions.

    • Stimulate collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.

  • IPL phototherapy can address a variety of skin concerns, including:

    • Sun damage and age spots

    • Hyperpigmentation and melasma

    • Rosacea and redness

    • Broken capillaries and spider veins

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Uneven skin tone and texture

    • Acne and acne scars

  • IPL is most effective on lighter skin tones due to its ability to differentiate between the pigment of the skin and the targeted pigment. However, advancements in IPL technology have made treatments safer for a broader range of skin tones. A consultation with one of our trained professionals is essential to determine if IPL is suitable for your skin type.

  • The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and goals. Typically, 3-4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.
